One of the questions our staff at The Library Project are most frequently asked is how artists and other creatives can have their work stocked and sold through our shop. To help answer that question, we have gathered all the relevant information in this guide to assist you through the process.
Run by PhotoIreland since September 2013 at its present address, The Library Project is Ireland's art bookshop. It is a buzzing cultural hub, multidisciplinary in its approach and with a focus on Photography, and a busy gallery programme with events such as HALFTONE Print Fair every November, while running publishing projects such as the TLP Editions. The Library Project offers visitors an open door to discover local and international contemporary art practices through a careful selection of publications and artworks, and a variety of exhibitions and events. The Library Project supports the practice of many individuals, artists, designers, publishers, galleries, and other organisations by showcasing their work and providing revenue from sales in our physical store at 4 Temple Bar Street, Dublin, and online at thelibraryproject.ie The Library Project occupies the ground-floor gallery space of Black Church Print Studio’s purpose-built premises. Closing every January and September by contract to accommodate Black Church Print Studio’s exhibitions, the space is hypermobile in nature, ever-changing, and permanently creative, always preserving to some degree three elements: bookshop, library, and gallery.
The Library Project stocks a growing variety of publications and artworks covering eclectic subjects and practices, reflecting contemporary visual culture and critical thinking. From art theory to photography, from selected kids' books to the latest magazines and the rarest of zines, and from silver gelatin prints to etchings and screenprints, the selection presented is carefully made by our staff, who are constantly researching to stay informed. The artists and authors stocked range from international to local artists, some well known, mostly being emerging voices; we strive to create opportunities for everyone to display and sell their own prints and publications, looking for ways to contribute to their practice with sales revenue. As with any other outlet, first, make sure that you do indeed want to sell your publication or artwork at The Library Project, and that it suits both your and our market.

Once we agree to stock your products, we will be in touch to arrange delivery and to discuss the conditions. We will keep a written record of the receipt of products and the agreed arrangement.
Your products will be included in our online shop as well as in the physical one. From then on, sales reports will be available on demand, and if needed, a restock will be requested.
To feature your product online, we will use the information supplied as part of your proposal. In addition, we need single-file images of:
Please provide all images in either WebP, JPG, or PNG formats. To help us process them efficiently, please do not send images as ZIP files or Google Drive links. Individual image files should not exceed 4 MB. Aside from that, we recommend supplying a set of more creative promotional images for social media whenever possible.
All products must be presented in perfect condition and without any damage and should be structurally sound, able to be displayed appropriately, and be moved around for displays, as well as handled by the public.
Publications
If you are including additional materials with a publication, such as stickers, prints, or other inserts, please ensure they are attached or packaged in a way that keeps everything together without damaging the publication or other items. Consider using a paper sleeve, envelope, or glue dots rather than clips or staples. Whatever method you choose, it should prevent loose materials from becoming separated from the publication. We are not responsible for the loss of additional materials or damage to these or their packaging.
Artworks
Unframed prints should be presented in a way that allows them to be displayed upright without bending or warping. We recommend protecting them in a clear sleeve with a rigid backing board. This is also a good opportunity to include your contact details, website, social media information, or other relevant branding. Please clearly state whether the print is part of an edition and, if so, the edition size. If the work is uneditioned, this should also be indicated. We are not responsible for the damage to any artwork caused during its public display.
